A Song for Starlit Beaches

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 1]

Summer nights
Spent catching fireflies
Watch them fly
Burn up like a star
And drift away.

Settle down.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 2]

You're not growing up
As fast as you feared you would.
Time has tried in vain to pass.
You were there, head held high,
Smiling all the while.
We caught fireflies
And once we could see for miles.
No trees, no shadows,
No intervening walls,
No overhanging sky.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 3]

Sleep soundly now.
Sleep...
Where will we wake?
Somehow I know
We're not long here
Because this sky
These colors
This air
It's not quite right.

August damp summer colors given up
And died.

Give me winter.
A solemn white kiss of frost
And nevermore,
The halo of December
Bringing static slumber
Like little lights
And simple dreams
And go to sleep
Before you
Are forced
To wake.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 4]

I long
For simpler times.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 5]

Crackling fire
Dusty lights
And you.
Sit by the dying embers
And sip
Your tea
And reminisce.
We knew each other
Once.
But now what are we?
Have we drifted so far
Apart?
Do you hate me?
Do you still love me?

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 6]

Tonight
I'll make my escape.
They'll never know
The thoughts I had
I wish to God I never did
But somehow
In these painful hours
Of dying light
I'm content.
The waves of joy
That sweep across my eyes
And lift me to the heavens
So appropriate.
Never again will she use me.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 7]

Tell me again that you need me.
I don't understand
What you mean
When you say
Anything.
Speak up. Speak up.
Speak clearly because I linger
On your every word.

I don't want to miss a thing!

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 8]

I want to be there
When you start to cry.
I want to hold you in my arms
And cry.

I want to be one in a puddle of us.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 9]

Stop being so melodramatic
She said.
Stop acting like you need
To feel me.
Stop acting so dumb.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 10]

I live inside of you
So stop twisting around.
I live inside of you
So stop spitting me out.
I live for you.
I live for you.

I live for you.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 11]

Baptized in your light.
I am born again
When I look at you.
You are so beautiful
And I'm still nothing.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 12]

Will we pretend there's nothing wrong?
Or will we reach inside
To where it hurts?
Will you tell me
Why you hurt?
I want to know
If I've hurt you
And if I ever will.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 13]

Finally asleep.
Months of trying
And lying
And not quite succeeding
But I've been flying

Mountains seas and forests
All have felt my feet
As clouds above the horizon.

Still I float
Ever forwards
Until I land
Back home with you.

What do you think?
What do you know?
What do you feel in your heart is true?
Tell me because
I never know
Just where I stand.
It hurts to be so close
To someone who will always
Manage to push you away.

[A Song for Starlit Beaches - 14]

And now I'm here
I'm yours
I'm so yours
Do with me
Whatever
You will.
